Chapter 262 3 years
What happens next is very simple.
The restriction set by the Silver Fox for all beings is that when the tribulation lightning falls from the heavens, all beings will open up.
After exchanging a few gestures with Ye Xiaozhou and being surrounded by admirers at Chaoxi Bookstore, the group finally had some free time and went to find Qi Suowei together.
Unexpectedly, the sword immortal's first words were:
“When the cycle of reincarnation restarted, I took the opportunity to try it out, but now I have lost the qualification to enter the Nascent Soul Realm.”
Hua Yingting asked with some confusion:
"why?"
"Because I have strayed from my own way."
Qi Suowei's path to becoming a sword immortal began when he witnessed an evil cultivator causing trouble while buying candied hawthorns.
To protect the safety of all the ordinary people in the city, he was willing to offend a formidable enemy and be hunted down for a long time, just to kill him on a whim.
From the moment she drew her sword, every step she took afterward was a step towards becoming a sword immortal.
The complexities of human nature are far more insidious than Zhu Wuyao imagined.
Regardless of whether it's true or false.
Just as the story in the book is an illusion, those with a heart will still weep for it.
But Qi Suowei could no longer do it.
Through hundreds of reincarnations, the Silver Fox wanted her to watch all living beings die under divine punishment time and time again, to see all of this as commonplace, until she became numb, until the cries for help and the screams of those in distress only sounded noisy to her ears.
When Qi Suowei coldly watches and refuses to help those in distress, he is gradually distancing himself from the position of a sword immortal.
Time is indeed the sharpest sword, capable of extinguishing one's spirit.
Cultivating the Tao begins with cultivating the mind.
Zhu Wuyao once thought this was Silver Fox's mistake.
So, this was the real killer move.
"Therefore, the divination in the dream that all living beings will break apart thirteen years later is not your tribulation."
Before they arrived, Qi Suowei had already drunk many cups, seemingly somewhat unwilling.
She held up her glass, looked at Ye Xiaozhou, and said:
“Those in the Golden Core stage should not be subjected to tribulation lightning, but you can attract tribulation lightning, and it just so happens that it will not cause any abnormal changes in the appearance of sentient beings.”
"Huh? It took me thirteen years to go from the late Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage?!"
Ye Xiaozhou asked incredulously.
"You follow a path of cruelty and violence, a path of killing. All living beings are a paradise on earth. How can you progress?"
Then he turned to Zhu Wuyao and continued to instruct him:
"With your low-grade spiritual root of the Five Elements, you've only managed to get to where you are today because of the moves made by your predecessors. They forced you into this position, and your path is not in your own hands."
Xu San'er quickly stepped forward and asked:
"Senior Qi, what about me?"
"You? It's not about wealth, it's about gambling, seeking profit and avoiding risk, but you never step on the scales yourself, so how can you possibly weigh the true value?"
Qi Suowei spoke very bluntly.
Only after all three of them looked utterly dejected did she smile and look at Hua Yingting, saying:
"On the contrary, you are particularly compatible with the various aspects of life. Between reality and illusion, and between cause and effect, you should make some progress."
Hua Yingting smiled and bowed slightly, thanking the Sword Immortal for his guidance. However, just as she rose, Qi Suowei continued:
"It's a pity that you are as thin as a reed, yet you want to shake a rock. You are not even firm enough, and you are weak and thin. Little do you know that when the mountain comes down, a few grains of sand can crush you with your body."
Hua Yingting also joined the ranks of those who were depressed.
Zhu Wuyao, standing nearby, could tell that this senior sword immortal was clearly unhappy.
Zhu Wuyao, though knowing it was well-intentioned, was still somewhat resentful after being scolded along with several friends, and muttered to himself:
"Senior Qi, it's better to care about all living beings than to stand by and watch coldly."
Qi Suowei smiled and put down his cup.
Seeing this, Zhu Wuyao quickly hid behind Ye Xiaozhou.
"How dare you say such a thing? In the first cycle of reincarnation, didn't you and this young friend who practices the Way of Slaughter fight your way from the south of the city to the north?"
"You've also cultivated the Way of Slaughter?"
Zhu Wuyao, speechless with frustration, reached out from behind Ye Xiaozhou, bowed respectfully, and surrendered, saying:
"Thank you for your guidance, senior, for guiding us foolish people."
Then Ye Xiaozhou slapped his hand back and said:
"Thank me for yourself. I've never admitted to being stupid!"
Ye Xiaozhou clearly did not believe Qi Suowei's explanation.
She began to pray sincerely.
She hopes that in the next cycle of reincarnation, all living beings will grant her a powerful enemy so that she can kill him.
Whether this method is feasible is currently unknown.
Zhu Wuyao quickly discovered a rather alarming discrepancy—there was no such person as Zhu Wumeng in Biyi City.
Her sister has disappeared.
Even everyone else seems to have forgotten Zhu Wumeng.
If it weren't for Qi Suowei's vague recollection of the name, Zhu Wuyao would almost have thought it was a hallucination.
where is she?
Has she not appeared yet?
Thirteen years is enough time for many things to happen in the outside world.
For the first time, a domesticated Glazed Blazing Cloud Bird appeared in the sects of the Mosang Continent. It is said that a cultivator named Shen Xun rescued the bird during a battle while traveling. The bird then recognized him as its master and was willing to stay by his side, landing in the Star-Picking Tower.
It is said that this cultivator named Shen Xun practices the Yin-Yang Tiger-Elephant Technique, which was left behind by a great master.
In the cultivation world, the Two-Element Tiger-Elephant Pill, which can supposedly imbue one with immense power, is merely a poor imitation.
What does "one thing rises while another falls" mean?
When two people share a destiny, one remains unknown while the other rises to fame.
Thirteen years is enough time for extraordinary encounters to transform the former beggar boy into a prodigy through trials and tribulations.
His reputation is enough to surpass that of Zhu Wuyao back then.
In the myriad forms of sentient beings, there are no enemies; Zhu Wuyao's enemies are outside of the myriad forms of sentient beings.
To preserve his mental state, Zhu Wuyao went into seclusion.
Within the chaotic sea of consciousness, a sense of crisis lingered constantly, and even after reincarnation resumed, it did not diminish in the slightest, but rather became even more undeniable.
Many other things have happened in the outside world.
For some unknown reason, Gu Yiguan, the second disciple and the tacitly chosen next leader of the Zhaixing Tower, got into a fight with Ruan Ayao of the Taibai Sect.
You should know that Gu Yiguan is at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, while Ruan Ayao is only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. How could these two possibly fight each other?
Although they had avoided the area far from human habitation, some curious cultivators heard the commotion and went to see what was going on, thus witnessing the latter half of the event.
I heard that the mountain collapsed and the waterfall crumbled that night.
With his halberd in hand, Gu Yiguan cut off the howling wind and brought it three inches to Ruan Ayao's throat, ultimately gaining the upper hand.
But for some reason, they stopped at the crucial moment.
Despite the victory, there was no sign of joy.
After Ruan Ayao left, Gu Yiguan ignored her and staggered slightly.
It seems he was also seriously injured.
Everyone in the cultivation world found it unbelievable.
Everyone's story continues, leaving little time to dwell on the four who have been missing for so long. Even the name of the Sword Immortal is no longer mentioned much after a thousand years, let alone those few.
But there will always be people who remember them.
For example, Master Fang, Zi Hu, Shen Xun, Shen Anzhi, Ji Daoting, Li Fuwei, Mr. Wuyu, and the book lovers who believe in the Way.
